The root words "pel" and "puls," derived from Latin, mean "to drive" or "to push."

Does thiamine stop mosquitoes?
Upon arrival in the Philippines, my wife and I each began taking a one 100mg tablet per day. We were visiting her family of six and for 3 weeks we were exempt from any bites, even though mosquitos were buzzing constantly. We shared our supply with her family and soon they too were not getting bitten either. In the three weeks, there were two days that I and her father got a couple of bites and we both had forgotten to take our pill on that day. The efficacy was amazing to all of us, especially considering the lack of supporting medical evidence I encountered when trying to substantiate the numerous testimonials I'd found by common people stating that it had worked for them. I suppose there's no profit to be made by advocating something so simple as a proper daily dose of B-1 as an adequate defense from the many injurious diseases that mosquitos are known to cause.
Greater research also reveals that B-1 enormously enhances the health of our entire epidermis to defend against many other intruding bacterias and parasites also, but of course we wouldn't want the doctors and pharmaceuticals to go broke though, now would we?

No. I have a TON of mosquitoes outside of my apartment and I tried to use a half/half water/vinegar solution and sprayed the living daylights out of the area they seemed to be, and they did not go away. Perhaps a bleach concoction would be better. That will be my next step.
